CBD vape pens may help some people with epilepsy manage their seizures. However, it's important to understand that only FDA-approved CBD medications like Epidiolex are regulated for quality, safety and effectiveness. Recreational CBD products can vary widely in quality and may interact with other medications. It would be best to discuss trying CBD with your doctor first to understand the potential risks and benefits for your situation. If you decide to try CBD, start with a low dose and monitor how it affects your seizures and any side effects. Be sure to report your experience to your doctor so they can provide guidance. Some potential side effects to watch for include diarrhea, fatigue and interactions with other medications.

I thought I could give up all of my seizure drugs, except Xcopria and just have CBD gummies. I was so wrong. After 11 days it was many seizures and came out of it in the hospital. Who knows how long I was there.
